Getting better results from Copilot isn’t just about what you ask — it’s about how clearly you frame the work. When you give Copilot the purpose, the audience, and the outcome you’re aiming for, it can cut straight to the good stuff. Clear prompts mean faster drafts, fewer rewrites, and more time back for the work that actually needs you.

In NZ organisations where pace and clarity matter, specific prompting is great practice.

Many organisations are still trying to understand exactly where AI delivers genuine value. The good news is that Microsoft 365 Copilot isn't about replacing people or creating complex new processes. Instead, it helps employees work more efficiently within the tools they already use every day.

From Outlook and Teams through to Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, Copilot can reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and allow teams to focus on higher-value work such as strategy, creativity, problem-solving, and customer engagement.

We've looked at 5 simple, practical ways you can use Copilot to streamline your workflows. Check them out on our latest insights article here: https://ace.co.nz/insights/copilotwith365

We love getting customer feedback like this. Sarah has a knack for making Excel feel less intimidating and more doable, and it shows in every session.

For us, it’s not just about covering the content, it’s about helping people genuinely understand it and feel confident to apply it.

Thanks for delivering another solid session Sarah!

Your employees are already using AI. So do they really need AI training? Probably more than you think.

Knowing how to ask Copilot or ChatGPT to write an email is one thing. Knowing what's even possible with AI, when to use it, how to get better results, how to check what it produces and what information shouldn't be entered into it is another.

And as AI becomes a normal part of everyday work, the gap between using AI and using it well is becoming more important. So what AI skills do employees actually need? And should everyone be learning the same things?

We’ve looked at why AI training still matters, even when your people are already using ChatGPT and Copilot.

When people have the skills they need to succeed, confidence follows.

Whether it's mastering a new technology, strengthening leadership capability, or gaining a recognised certification, the right training helps individuals approach their work with greater clarity and certainty. Instead of second-guessing decisions or relying on trial and error, they can apply proven knowledge and best practices with confidence.

That confidence has a direct impact on productivity. Individuals work more effectively, teams collaborate more efficiently, and organisations are better equipped to adapt to changing business demands.

We focus on building practical, job-ready capability through instructor-led training that helps people develop skills they can apply immediately in the workplace, creating benefits for both the individual and the organisation.

Ready to move beyond prompting?

Many people are comfortable using Copilot prompts, but the next step is AI agents that can automate everyday tasks and save even more time. Here's 3 useful agents you could build with AI today:

Email Management Agent: Prioritises important emails, highlights actions, and drafts replies.

Meeting Follow-Up Agent: Summarises discussions, captures key decisions, and creates action lists from meetings.

Knowledge & Procedures Agent: Finds answers from policies, procedures, templates, and internal documents in seconds.

The best part? You don't need coding skills or a technical background to build your own AI agents.

Our AI and Copilot training courses can help you learn how to design and create agents that make work easier, from beginner to advanced.

Due to demand, we've added two further online AI Enablement sessions on July 22.

Building practical confidence with AI tools is likely to become one of the biggest professional advantages people can develop over the next 12-24 months.

AI opportunities go well beyond generating content or drafting emails. With little to no coding experience, people can now build automations, create custom GPTs, connect tools together, and develop AI agents that handle repetitive tasks and support everyday work. It’s easy - when you have a solid understanding of what the tools can do and how to use them well.

Take advantage of these free online sessions, which give you an intro to each topic and some tangible takeaways you can apply at work straight away.
